I'm making my own Carol...there are so many recipes out there for low carb bread...it's often lower in carbs than the ones we buy...made one at the weekend...it lasted almost the whole week...as soon as it's ready it's sliced & straight in the freezer...I realise not everyone can or will make their own...but it's certainly an option...I have to have bread in my diet.
The best & easiest one I've found is the bran bread...it does use eggs but you can substitute those with some ground flax/linseed soaked in water overnight...it's so easy to make I tend to have that one all the time now...have a look in the low carb baking thread.
Yes I particularly liked that one...on my menu today with some extra thick cream.
I eat absolutey tons of them lol
They still have a good few spoonsful of sugar Vince...slow down
.
It sounds like you are lucky then @travellor. We get loads of confused newbies on here who have been told completely the wrong information or even no information at all! Everyone knows to avoid obvious sugary foods, but there are many people out there who have never been told that things like bread and potatoes should also be treated with extreme caution, and then wonder why they can't get their blood sugars down. On "GP's Behind Closed Doors" on channel 5 a couple of years ago there was a really smug nurse shown who used to laugh with her diabetic patients about "you really ought to cut out the biscuits you know" and never mentioned any other carbs. Sadly there's a long way to go before all health care practitioners are giving out the correct advice
Only seeing the bit at the end when the patients had all done so well after two weeks on the low carb diet, I said to myself (no one else at home), hopefully they will stop pushing the eat well plate at everyone now. Will watch it in full tonight.
Thanks for that about the ground flaxseed/linseed as substitute for eggs. I did not know that. Will have a go at that just for a change. I do love eggs though,
Actually, no reason why not.🙂I wonder if it is the same with chips
Just a warning about eating reheated rice...
Maz eggs are fine but some don't like the taste...so Linseed is a good substitute if soaked in water...you'll have to look up the quantities though.
You were fortunate, travellor, as like others have said, I was given diet sheets which advised having starchy foods at every meal - jacket potatoes, bread, low fat foods etc etc. I happily followed this advice, put on weight and my numbers went up, so I was given Metformin 🙄.
